Ascendency Trials: GREAT CONTENT... but does it fit?

Ya i appreciate you picked up ... they are not fun for me.
I wasn't sure if i was projecting that sentiment.

Unfortunately they are mandatory.
Which means the game sucks with them.

From the fact they are 2 mini games players actively avoided in PoE1.
They are Mandatory.
They are not fun at all, highly repetitive massively over tuned.

Just want to point out that fun is subjective. I never even tried to get the last two points (burnt out before that), but I did farm both chaos and sekhema and found them to be pretty fun.

I guess what you mean is that they are not fun for you. Well, tough. I hated the lab in poe1 and still did it to get my ascendancies and didn't complain about it.

Anyway, games need their low points to make high points feel higher.

But it just pisses me off more when I consider.

The trials create a new game play.
To create a problem that didn't exist, in that honor sucks.
The only gear to mitigate it drops in that zone.
You need to fail several times to start acquiring the gear to mitigate the fake problem.
Zone specific loot drops to counter the problem that they created.

While implementing an out of place mini game, that has though implementation in PoE1 shown almost everyone hates them(except bots) that they then made mandatory.
All to frustrate players and waste their time with random diminishment of characters players spent hours creating.

Then i really foam at the mouth.
Way to go GGG you just made a game for bots, its perfect for them.
Repetative and once you build charaters only to do them .. trivial.
